Charges will vary dependent on the level of technical support required.
Note 1.Assumes all sample preparation, analysis and data processing by student, with minimal in-house technical support.
Note 2.Assumes provision of manpower for sample preparation, analysis and data processing with minimal in-house technical support. Charges negotiable dependent on sample numbers, provision of additional in-house support and potential for research collaboration.
